And I'm glad you're still here, Kelly. ❤️ Thank you for sharing this tender, powerful, and evocative piece, which will certainly stay with me, especially this:

What did I keep?

The sound of my father laughing across a kitchen table.

The weight of small hands reaching for mine.

The breath it takes to promise:

I’m still here.

I’m not done yet.

Gentle hugs and love flowing across the miles. xo
